1.1. About This User Manual describes the TigoMaster 2TH IO-Link Wireless Master (TigoMaster 2TH). TigoMaster 2TH is a wireless, decentralized input and output device which operates within a given computer network, such as those based on the PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT protocols. This manual focuses only on use with the EtherCAT protocol.
2.2. Intended Use The TigoMaster 2TH IO-Link Wireless Master can be used to either acquire or output IO-Link field signals to sensors, actuators, and hubs, with such signals being sent and received to a higher-level control system. It is intended for use in operating temperatures of -25°C to 55°C. Its housing will protect it from damage caused by any buildup of moisture on surfaces which are in contact with the air.
Users are expected to follow all safety measures regarding information and data security relevant to devices used with EtherCAT technology. If a TigoMaster 2TH is connected to a public network, safeguard its data integrity by doing one of the following: •...
3.1. Product Description The TigoMaster 2TH is an IO-Link Wireless Master that can be used in an EtherCAT network and can operate up to 16 IO-Link sensors/actuators via wireless connectivity. It is supplied with a software tool, TigoEngine, which can be used to configure it over the EtherCAT network. The TigoEngine can also be used to configure the parameters of any IO-Link Wireless sensors/actuators connected to the TigoMaster 2TH.

3.2.7. Derating Note the derating when you connect a device to Power Out on the TigoMaster 2TH, so a larger current passes through the TigoMaster 2TH. The amount of current, and also the ambient temperature, affect the heating of the TigoMaster 2TH.
TigoMaster 2TH EtherCAT User Manual Note that the derating curve in Error! Reference source not found. applies to operating conditions "without air f low or with air flow 0.5 m/s" and "mounting on poorly heat conducting wall". Other operating conditions (for example, higher air flow or a more heat conducting wall) might lead to better heat dissipation from the TigoMaster 2TH.
Installing Hardware This section describes how to mount and ground the TigoMaster 2TH. 4.1.1. Select the Mounting Location The TigoMaster 2TH can be mounted in the control cabinet or on any part of your system that meets the following requirements: •...

TigoMaster 2TH EtherCAT User Manual Configuration 5.1. Introduction In order for the TigoMaster 2TH to operate, it must be configured together with its connected devices, i.e. have their parameters set. The parameters can be grouped in the following categories and sub-categories: •...
5.2. Configure the EtherCAT Master In order for the EtherCAT Master and the TigoMaster 2TH to exchange process data, you need to configure the EtherCAT Master using the ESI file (EtherCAT Slave Information file) for the TigoMaster 2TH. Configuring the EtherCAT Master has the following stages: 1.
5.2.3. Define the Module for Each Port Each wireless IO-Link port of the TigoMaster 2TH corresponds to a slot in the configuration software. There are 16 slots (ports), named WP01–WP16. Each slot has a module property that needs to be defined according to the type of device connected to it: that is, according to the device’s quantity of bytes PDIN and quantity of bytes...
TigoMaster 2TH EtherCAT User Manual In the Slots tab you can see that the default setting for each slot’s module is Slot Empty (that is, disabled). Figure 6: Slots Tab 3. Select the desired slot. In the example in the figure below, WP01 is selected.
